TRANSCRIPT
========================================
What is God saying when he's commanding us to repent? He's saying, "Hey, I want to have a relationship with you. You're my bride. I love you, but I'm not going to have a relationship with you when you're putting yourself through suffering." Repentance isn't, "That's wrong. Stop doing it." It's, "Hey, could you stop shooting yourself in the foot and calling it holy?" And we have ongoing repentance because we have this flesh like that wants to kill us every day of our lives. Proverbs 28:13, "Whoever conceals his transgressions, whoever hides what he's doing wrong, he will not prosper. But whoever confesses and forsakes them and repents will obtain mercy. Let me tell you this. Oh, I'm in the message. I don't ever need to repent. I I'm chosen. All All I need to repent of is feeling bad. If the only thing you ever repent for is feeling bad, you're not. You I'm not going to say you're doing wrong because I'm not going to contradict myself. I'm going to say that you're missing out on the true joy that only comes from, hey, I don't want to do that anymore. Not because it's wrong, but because something else is better. Uh, Sister Emily says, "The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." Exactly. Jesus says to his disciples, "Hey, the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." That's why Paul says, "Hey, I die daily." Romans 8:13 in the ESV. What's up, brother Dorian Page? God bless you. For if you live according to the flesh, you will die. But if you by the spirit do put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. I don't care how much you speak in tongues. I don't care how much you uh stand and clap and yell and shout, you will never completely kill your flesh. And you think, "Oh, it means I have to fight it." No, it means you get to fight it. When Jesus knew that Satan would do what he did and then we're stuck in this construct of time and we have to battle this stupid flesh every day. It's Satan said, "Oh, it's a curse you guys have to do in these bodies." But God said he would turn it out to be a blessing anyway. For we I think it's Romans 8:1. For we know that all things work together for those that are called who are the called according to his purpose. No matter what happens, he'll work it out for the better of it. So actually, you can look at fighting this flesh. It's like, "Oh, I have to fight the flesh. Oh, it's so terrible." Or, "I get to. It's a blessing. It's an honor. It's a privilege.
